2-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface modules
2-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface modules have two physical ports, through which you can connect
the Brocade device to other network devices at a speed of 10 Gigabits per second.
The modules have two optical interfaces with LC connectors for 10-Gigabit Small Form Factor
Pluggable (SFP+) on the Third Generation, or XFP on the Second Generation module supporting the
applicable MSA-compliant transceivers. On Second Generation 2-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface
modules, the transceivers support 10GBase-SR, 10GBase-LR, and 10GBase-ER fiber optic cabling
for LAN PHY. On Third Generation 2-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface modules, the transceivers
support Twin-ax copper, 10GBase-SR, 10GBase-LR, and 10GBase-ER fiber optic cabling for LAN.
